    BedTools Fisher Question

    Hi, All! I have a question about the usage of the bedtools fisher tool. I have posted elsewhere but have not received answers.

    I am trying to determine the significance of ChIP-seq peak overlap. I have two files with peaks all 101 bp in width. I entered the following command:

    Code:
    bedtools fisher -a Factor1.bed -b Factor2.bed -g mm10.chrom.sizes
    The file mm10.chrom.sizes contains each mouse chromosome and it's length. The output I received is:

    Code:
    # Number of query intervals: 27176
    # Number of db intervals: 44018
    # Number of overlaps: 25704
    # Number of possible intervals (estimated): 13386626
    # phyper(25704 - 1, 27176, 13386626 - 27176, 44018, lower.tail=F)
    # Contingency Table Of Counts
    #_________________________________________
    #           |  in -b       | not in -b    |
    #     in -a | 25704        | 1472         |
    # not in -a | 18314        | 13341136     |
    #_________________________________________
    # p-values for fisher's exact test
    left    right   two-tail        ratio
    1       0       0       12720.451
    This doesn't make sense to me. I feel that I am likely using the incorrect genome file, but am not sure what to use. Any advice?

    Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
    by SEQadmin2



    Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

    Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating

    New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
    by SEQadmin2


    Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.

    We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing
